Gustav Mahler's status as an icon of fin-de-si�cle Viennese music is assured, with his works now staples of the concert repertoire. His life story has been told in numerous biographies, films and novels, yet he remains an ambiguous, provocative figure. Mahler was a composer who challenged musical form and style but identified with German Enlightenment and Romantic culture, disliking many contemporary artistic trends.

This book, reflecting the latest research, constructs a fresh interpretation of Mahler's music in relation to his life.
